The Minnesota police officer who fatally shot Philando Castilesaid he thought Castile would act recklessly because he smelled marijuana in his auto.

Yanez said he was anxious that Castile may be carrying a weapon for protection from drug dealers or others trying to "rip" or steal from him.

The video shows Yanez pulling over Castile for a busted brake light on July 6, 2016. But the video shows how quickly - in 62 seconds - a seemingly routine encounter with a police officer can turn deadly. And yet, last week Yanez was found not guilty on all counts. Kauser returned to the vehicle to pull out the 4-year-old daughter of Diamond Reynolds, Castile's girlfriend.

Although Yanez will not be returning to police department, popular opinion seems to be against this judgment. Castile is then heard saying, "Sir, I have to tell you, I do have a firearm on me". Prosecutors were skeptical, asking if he even saw a weapon in the first place, or simply assumed Castile was reaching for it.

Yanez approaches the vehicle and says, "Hello, sir", to Castile, who responds, "How are you?"

The video is graphic, gut-wrenching and hard to watch but attorneys who represented Yanez during the trial say it shouldn't change people's opinions of the verdict.

In his segment, Noah discussed how Castile, a "model citizen", was stopped 49 times by cops before he was fatally shot. "The city intends to offer Officer Yanez a voluntary separation agreement to help him transition to another career other than being a St. Anthony officer".

Once the ambulance arrives, Yanez can be heard off camera, breathing heavily as he says, "He had his grip a lot wider than a wallet, and I don't know where the gun was".

This was one of the pieces of evidence used in the trial. Then he asks Castile for his driver's license and insurance. "He didn't tell me where the [expletive deleted] gun was".

"The City of St Anthony has concluded that the public will be best served if Officer Yanez is no longer a police officer in our city", according to a police statement.

But the Kiwis came off their foils during a hard maneuver and slowed dramatically in light, shifty wind, losing half their lead. Emirates Team New Zealand moved into a 1-0 lead over Oracle Team USA after the first two races of the America's Cup.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it fired six missiles targeting "terror bases" of the Islamic State in eastern Syria on Sunday. State television footage showed the missiles on truck missile launchers in the daylight before being launched at night.

Still, even with all those rumors out there, it may take some time before a George trade materializes, if it ever does. George is the player the Pacers keep hoping to build their own title dreams around, dreams which haven't worked out.

Apple concluded its Worldwide Developers Conference keynote on Monday with a sneak peek of an all-new product: The HomePod . As were the rumors suggesting, Apple was going to launch a Wi-Fi speaker and the company did that at the WWDC 2017 keynote.

North Korea may be close to testing an intercontinental ballistic missile, state media suggested Saturday. President Donald Trump has vowed that a launch of an ICBM by Pyongyang " won't happen " on his watch.

The deciding factor will probably be Louisiana Democrat Cedric Richmond, who may be the best to have ever played in the game. Scalise is a member of the team and had been fielding balls at second base in preparation for the game when he was shot.

The ruling by a three-judge bench of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit was against the revised travel ban . Trump's appointment of conservative Gorsuch has been his most significant win since taking office in January.

Or the House or Senate get tax reform week. "We're all cautiously optimistic - that's the best I can do for you", Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) did say that he had discussed health care with Cassidy, who has pushed his own bill.

But after his return home to OH last week, doctors said they suspected his condition had been caused by cardiopulmonary arrest. I believe it is quite clear that they have a heavy responsibility in the process that led to Mr Warmbier's death.
